This $13,840,000 Formula Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.468) program provides funding to the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to capitalize the state's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The primary purpose of the grant is to address emerging contaminants in drinking water, with a focus on projects addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The grant will allow MDE to fund eligible DWSRF projects and activities, including technical assistance, program administration, and state program management related to addressing PFAS and other emerging contaminants in public water systems statewide. MDE will also provide sub-awards of $420,000 to the Maryland Department of Health for laboratory analyses and $364,202 to the Maryland Rural Water Association for technical assistance in support of these efforts. The grant period runs from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2030.
